The Plate Scrapers

The Plate Scrapers originated in 2014 in western Maryland the
way any good bluegrass band does: from a bunch of fellers pickin’
around in a circle, surrounded by delicious plates of food, strong
libations, and good friends. The traditional spirit of The Plate
Scrapers is still innately intact nearly half a decade later, though
they have evolved into far more than your average bluegrass band.
Through diverse backgrounds and influences ranging from jazz, to
hard rock, to funk, the band has taken their music to an eclectic
new level
